Designing intentionally how you organize everyday stuff is difficult but way worth the effort – it's one of those things you regret not doing earlier. Eg. key holder, grocery list 1) with its dedicated pen attached by a string, 2) next

Just a word of caution: all these enhancement tools are making an informed guess to create each new pixel. The original information was lost and no one can't retrieve it, whether it's shape or color. (I've heard technical peo

"Code-as-Text" is way too universal and deeply ingrained to change in the short to medium term. I've worked a bit with low code / no code platforms and everything becomes a mess: little to no version control, search is b

I "smartified" my Actiforce standing desk. Originally, I found the up/down buttons to be mushy and unreliable to the point I got fed up. I just wanted to 3d print a new case to have nice metal buttons but I found out the desk

I love the local first design but you have to understand conflicts are inevitable. With local first, you chose Availability and Partition tolerance over Consistency and slapping a CRDT on it does not solve every consistency problem. Think G

I know people in the four quadrants of {no-hire, hire} x {would not pass LC, would pass LC}. In my world, conditioning on [would pass LC] does not improve the hire odds. Even worse: it misses out on the hire people with no formal training t

You have to take into consideration that the default wallpaper is arguably the most seen picture in the entire world.

I would add that the atmosphere really feels dystopian – kind of a soul-less machine (crusher in a warehouse) vs symbols of human creativity. Despite the music, it's not a light and fun representation.

I found that layer on thumb + cursor keys on home row is really pleasing to use. It's like having a better HJKL working in all programs. See https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/qmk_firmware/tree/maste...

I'd argue the reverse is also true: you can remember books perfectly and not integrate their teachings. Depending on where you are in life, a book can model, confront, polish, and/or destroy (no always a net negative) your core pr

The ESP32 has series tailored for different purposes: https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs (eg. the ESP32-H is for low-powered applications). I don't know how it fares against the ESP8266 in power consu

Now with Github Copilot it's even worse/better – whether you like to type or not. Now it's 1) think about the problem, 2) sketch types and functions (leave the body empty), 3) supervise Copilot as it's generating the res

I use Syncthing on my PCs and NAS, and Backblaze to trivially do a 3-2-1 backup strategy. My work directories are synced on all devices. With my NAS up 24/7, I can always pick up the last changes when I switch computers. The irreplacea

You can be at the office and forced to do a zoom meeting because some people are in another office/country.

At first, I thought "Wow, this guy knows a bunch about fridges!" but then I realized it's not by choice. I like not having to know anything about my fridge except basic maintenance, it feels like a gift now.

I tried to replicate the bug only to find out the months are 0-indexed (jan = 0) so the example should use `setMonth(1)`. I must say I'd prefer getting an exception rather than a silent roll-over any day of the week – pun intended.

That's one sharp jump... I wonder how many unknowing developers will get a real scare after receiving the bill for something they don't even use.

My current hierarchy of "yes" when judging opportunities: - Hell yeah: can't find a reason to say no - Yes: opportunity is OK (with some small risks), or there are skills I want to learn - Yes, but: seems fine, but I

I remember a quote "Life is like Tetris, stop playing it like chess." I quite like the analogy: you don't have perfect information and what matters is how you deal with what you get. (After googling, it turned out to be a blo

In general, it's just plain boring. The only information conveyed to us, the unfortunate viewers, is: "oh look, they are intimate now". If there's nothing else, please cut short once we understand they are going to have

I like imagining how the life would look like if you change what is essentially a convention . Set the week to 6 weekdays and a 3-day weekend, have 6-hour workdays, or 80% company work / 20% service to your community. I'm very cu

Comparison tool: https://atlantic.money/gb/en/wise The flat fee makes it advantageous starting at about $500-600, compared to Wise. So, not for small transfers but nice for businesses paying internationally.

I really wanted to use a tablet – either iOS or Android – as a lightweight work device but it was too clumsy and uncomfortable to use. Any time you encounter a new situation, you're not sure you'd be able to solve it within the OS

At this kind of scale, finding a "small" saving may pay for tens of engineer years and justify hiring people just for that. Same thing to optimize cloud costs.

I don't think people with kids should weaken their midlife crisis. Kids adapt and maybe they'd prefer a more lively parent to a resigned one? And compared to divorce, a midlife crisis has a lot more upsides.

Other shots in the foot you'd want: - Trying to refactor a big chunk of your app and have a way to rollback if needed: use Git to do version control - Revert part of a commit containing bad code: make smaller and cleaner commits - Merg
